The Adobe Type Team blog

Posts in Category "Font Licensing"

On Monday, Adobe debuted Adobe AIR® 2.5 at MAX. With this latest version, AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) supports web fonts with the CSS @font-face rule. This occasion seems like a good time to talk a bit about Adobe’s current font licensing policies for web fonts. Let me try to address a few of the big licensing issues that affect web fonts, in plain English, and without creating anxiety for our legal department. It’s a fine line to walk.
